About Me:

I am a 20 year old Firefighter with the Little Axe FD. For my day job I am a 911 Dispatcher for the Oklahoma County Sheriffs office, Dispatching for a total of 20 different LE, fire and medical agencies across the county. I love waking up every morning and knowing that I have been blessed with another chance to serve my community and maybe, if all is lined up well, even save a life or two.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS

Thought it sounded like fun and I have a desire to serve my Community. We experienced a significant wildfire fire year in 2011 and 2012 and I found myself wondering why I was not out doing what I could. I applied as soon as possible and have loved every second since.

Why I Love Fire/EMS

a new challenge every day

Top Issues Facing Responders:

Probably the top issue that is facing first responders is a complete and total lack of understanding by the public of our function and our capabilities as responders, be it fire, EMS, or LE.
